Back in the olden days when telephones and answering machines were the cutting edge of communication, waiting for someone to return a call was torture.

Hoping, praying and wondering was excruciating because you never knew for certain when they’d be home, or if they’d even receive it for that matter.

Nowadays, that feeling still persists over voicemails and texts, but given the ubiquity of mobile phones, it probably shouldn’t. Consider the following:

Silver lining. All about how you look at things, right?
